Sillin was given the position of fullback for the third consecutive year. He was regarded as one of the great outstanding stars of the state, and recog- nized as the best defensive back in the state. "Sill" was out of the game several weeks last fall due to injuries, but made his presence felt during the rest of the season. McRobie was given, a guard on the first team because he couldn't be kept off. When comparing guards of the state "Mac" had to be ac- counted for, because that old fighting spirit of his always kept him in the limelight. Last year McRobie was placed on the second team, but this year he had no peers. McMains, the third Western Maryland man to make the All-Maryland, landed the quarter back position. "Mac" is a new man this year but gained recognition through his good playing and leadership on the field. "Mac" is little, but size doesn't always count; you must have the brains and other qualifications. On the line of the second team Clark was given an end and Weisner was placed at guard. These men played a strong game season and were said to be fine all state material. Lack of experience and the shortness of the time they played their positions are the only factors that kept them off the first team. Watch them make the first team next year. Long and Chambers were given two of the backfield positions on the second team making the number seven altogether. The editor said that the quality of the backs in the state this year was very good, and that he had a hard time picking a first and second team at the same time being fair to all concerned. Long and Chambers were of the very best and fell only a little short of making the first team.
